[edit] Fatties

Just so you know, the article on "fatties in prison" wasn't an attack page, it was a reference to a recent feature on Something Awful. DS 17:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Its contents was "That one guy on 'prison Break" is fat.", written by User:Ensiform. That is a stinking example of an attack page. Jesse Viviano 17:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Only incidentally. I have rebuked Ensiform for creating the page; however, it was explicitly a reference to the feature on Something Awful. DS 21:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Uploader acknowledges that this is not fair use.--Konstable 04:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about 72.10.124.101

Hello Jesse Viviano. I wanted to ask why you tweaked the block to disallow account creation? It was definitely an abusive school IP but I usually stick with softblocks for such occasions. However I've only been an administrator for close to a month or so, so you may know better in these cases.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 18:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I am new at this as well. However, the consensus seems to be to force the account of students to be created at home when dealing with schools full of vandals to cut down on the vandalism. See {{Schoolblock}}. Jesse Viviano 18:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks I appreciate the response. I'll only enact such blocks then for these kind of extreme cases.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 18:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
    • This will make it less likely that this address gets autoblocked. If a vandal creates an account and then continues to vandalize, the block on the school will become a hard autoblock when the vandalism only account gets blocked. Jesse Viviano 18:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to get our listing on Wikipedia

Hello Jesse,

You recently blocked my attempt to create a listing about our company on Wikipedia. See RentalHomesPlus.com. Is there any way at all to get this site mentioned? Our parent company has a listing and so do some of our competitors.

Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[edit] Why?

Can you please explain this and this? Thanks. Sarvagnya 01:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I deleted a copyright violation that was uploaded over this one. I was preparing to delete when I noticed that there was an older version. I reverted to it and deleted the watermarked copyright version. Jesse Viviano 01:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Somebody has reverted it. I tried rv to your ver... but something went wrong. Please take a look. Sarvagnya 09:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
That is your browser cache acting up. Also, I warned the copyright violator, User:Monu johnson, who uploaded the photo again, to quit. This is one of the few times you should quit your browser, restart it, and clear its cache. Jesse Viviano 15:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Now I see it. But my concerns over that image arent over yet. That image is clearly either a screengrab or a cropped image from some promotional material of the Hindi movie Company. The movie is all of maybe, 8-10 yrs old at the most. I cant see how it can be public domain anywhere in the world. Please take a look. Sarvagnya 17:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
If you can find the source, please tag it with {{Db-copyvio|url=http://www.whereItCameFrom.tld/}}. If not, please tag it with {{PUIdisputed}} and follow the instructions there. I am not allowed to delete unless you can prove the copyright violation, per Wikipedia:Assume good faith. Jesse Viviano 17:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] soz

sorry! my mistake totally!

[edit] Bot?

If you are not a bot, please read the message at the top of User talk:Emax. It was at the bottom, too, but some people still posted below it (perhaps I should make it blink and scream...). Thank you, -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  22:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not a bot, but I did not know where else to put image deletion warnings. I was following procedure to allow the eventual deletion to take place. If the uploader is not notified, then an administrator must not delete the image and reset the warning timer and notify the uploader. Jesse Viviano 22:56, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Please report the spam problem to meta:Talk:Spam blacklist

Thank you very much for your efforts. I had an inkling that it would require blocking an ISP and was in two minds over whether to file the report, so I decided to take care of both ends by reporting the spamlink at meta too. Anyhow, thanks very much for your consideration and I hope your efforts to help will prevent further spamming. Semi-protecting the page was a good move. Regards, Ekantik talk 03:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism on Ramapough page

Jesse, wanted to say thank you for catching the damage before it really caused serious problems.

[edit] ENOVIA

You placed a delete tag on the ENOVIA page The two links I created in the ENOVIA page were appropriate links. There is no explanation for ENOVIA at the moment so the best was to explain it would be to direct people to the owners of the product: dassault sysemes. I will make you a encyclopedia discription of the Product as soon as I can, but to have no discription at all seems to me like a lack of valuble information. You cannot describe ENOVIA without mentioning a Product or Company because that is what it is A PRODUCT owned by a company. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CDC Catia (talk • contribs) 14:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

An article in the main space must have more than a bunch of links, or it is spam. External links are OK if they are accompanied by an article about the subject of the article. Wikipedia is not a link farm. Also, please sign your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~. Jesse Viviano 14:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Viewtiful Zoidberg

VZ is someone I know outside of Wikipedia, whom I work with on a games review web site. It was all in good fun. - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Protecting imagery

I suggest you read my comment here. Commons admins will protect high risk images; a list at the commons AN would be helpful for that. As a practical matter, if an image exists on Commons then the local version of its page is automatically full protected against uploads, but the description page is like any other non-existent article.--Nilfanion (talk) 18:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AIV report on Lingofascist

I know what a fascist is, but my comment is that I don't think the word fascist is inherently grounds for a prohibited username, because it is a political idealogy and we routinely allow people to express their political preferences. In summary, I can see why someone might complain, but I don't see that it is a clear-cut case and belongs at WP:RFCN. —dgiestc 21:54, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Navdeepbains.parl.gc.ca.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Navdeepbains.parl.gc.ca.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jesse Viviano 15:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Jesse, updated (sorry, I forgot!). - Denny 15:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roy Romanow

Good luck trying to get a free photo of the Premier of Saskatchewan. I task you with getting it. That's like trying to get a free photo of the Governor of Michigan. GreenJoe 19:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I do not live in Canada, so I could not do it. However, even Mike Tyson's page had no photo until someone found a free one on Flickr. Jesse Viviano 19:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
He should submit a free photo of himself to Wikipedia if he wants a photo in his article.
There is a free image of the governor of Michigan on the Commons at Image:Granholm speaking to troops, Lansing, 1 Dec, 2005.jpg. Jesse Viviano 20:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Then I suggest you visit Canada. Respond on my talk page next time please. I don't waste time watching yours. GreenJoe 20:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates on the subject I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 22:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

Huge apologies, that was completely my stupidity. I thought the "backlog" notice up top was a template, and I thought that bit of code was said template. I was merely trying to remove the backlog notice since I had cleared most of that backlog. Won't make that mistake again. :) Staxringold talkcontribs 16:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 時里

韓国中国亜米利加紐育日本慶應義塾大学様葉尾！！！！

Uhh, this might make sense to somebody who knows this better, but 韓国 is South Korea, 中国 China and 日本 Japan. Also talks about Keio University (慶應義塾大学). Beyond that, no clue :D -Yupik 20:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Navdeepbains.parl.gc.ca.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Navdeepbains.parl.gc.ca.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

For an image of a living person to be allowed on Wikipedia just to show what he or she looks like, the image must be under a license or other condition that allows anybody to reuse the photo in any way, including commercial works. The only restrictions that Wikipedia allows on photos are that the photo may require attribution, and that the photo may require that any derivatives be relicensed under the same license. Since official photos of Canadian politicians disallow commercial reuse, the image is permissible if and only if a similar work that achieves the same purpose is impossible (e.g. the person is a fugitive like Osama bin Laden, looks very different compared to what the photo looks like (e.g. had his face disfigured or is much older than when he or she had that photo taken), or is a prisoner like Dennis Rader a.k.a. the BTK killer, where prisons probably do not want people taking photos of their prisoners because some of them, like Rader, are media hounds who get their jollies by getting their images taken by either still image or television cameras). For us to keep the photo, we must receive explicit permission to use the photo under one of the licenses listed here. Permission for use on Wikipedia is not enough, and photos used with permission where a free alternative could be created are disallowed. Jesse Viviano 15:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I retagged for speedy myself, and will find a better free one. - Denny (talk) 16:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I am very grateful that you understood instead of reacting negatively when he or she is shown that he or she inadvertently violated policy. It is a refreshing breath that you understand and comply with policy unlike others who violate polciy like R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) (this user failed to meet the burden of proof that the images he uploaded are permissible reacted negatively to anyone who called him for this failure) and Primetime (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) (this user committed unrepetant mass plagiarism and copyright violations). Jesse Viviano 16:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
No, no problem at all, I didn't realize I had asked for the wrong permissions. I rewrote them and the PMs office as well to ask for a better one under GFDL. :) - Denny (talk) 16:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
